Here comes Peter Cottontail

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. Easter is just about my favorite holiday, and I think this one was one of the best. The kids and I joined Granny T on the Square for an egg hunt on Good Friday. I took the kids by myself last year, and I vowed to never go again. There was way too much chaos for it to even be enjoyable. This year, it was wonderful! I completely take back any words of negativity towards this event. It was not nearly as crowded, and the kids had a wonderful time!IMG_1662 IMG_1667 IMG_1669 IMG_1672 IMG_1675 IMG_1681 IMG_1685

IMG_1702 After the egg hunt, we went to the square to visit the EB again, and to get a little lunch at the cookie shop!IMG_1713 IMG_1714 IMG_1721

Friday night, we had our annual Spring Birthday fish fry at Daddy Doc and Granny Ts. The fish was delicious, and we enjoyed hanging out outside.IMG_1724 IMG_1734

This was our first trial run with sponge rollers! Her hair was adorable all say Saturday! I think I slept in these every Saturday night of my childhood.IMG_1740

On Easter morning, the Big Bunny had indeed come for a visit! The kids were super excited about their baskets  and the trail of eggs left around the den. IMG_1741 IMG_1747 IMG_1751 IMG_1752 IMG_1753 IMG_1760 IMG_1763 IMG_1767 IMG_1772

Luke got a basket full of study food!

We headed to church for a wonderful service. Every song brought tears to my eyes. I dont know what it was about this year, but I think I just appreciated a little bit more that God gave us his Son, and we are pitiful rags in exchange. We enjoyed a yummy Easter lunch at my parents following that, complete with the annual family pics. Overall, it was a perfectly celebrated weekend!

Up from the grave he arose; with a mighty triumph o'er his foes; he arose a victor from the dark domain, and he lives forever, with his saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Flowers

We have really been working hard in our yard already this year! I have my first crop of compost to add to our red clay soil, and I hope that it improves our flowerbeds! Here are some pics I snapped after church last Sunday…the kids were thrilled…IMG_1354 IMG_1360 IMG_1367 IMG_1369 IMG_1387 IMG_1399 IMG_1408 IMG_1416 IMG_1425 IMG_1426 IMG_1455

Preston was just as impressed with a dandelion as he was this amazing garden!IMG_1461 IMG_1474

Ok, maybe this isnt our yard (did I get ya?!), but the kids and I work in ours a lot…maybe one day?

80s Partay

My dear friend Eden turned 30, & I was so excited to be able to help throw her party. We had an 80s theme, and we had a wonderful time! I wanted it to feel like a Boy-Girl party (you know, pizza, coke, rotel, black lights), and about the 3rd time I said that, Luke finally asked me what the heck a boy-girl party was. I tried to explain…you know, when you turn 13 and then you can finally invite boys to your parties, and there is music, not much dancing, and that one couple that makes out? Luke thought I was crazy, and then I realized they might not have those at private schools. Well, the big bad kids at GMS did, and I think my theme/feel of the party went well! We had yummy pizza, Stefanie made an awesome cake, and we rocked it out on Rockband!

We made everyone take awkward pics in front of the backdrop! I think I mustve taken the other half of the couples on Stef’s camera!
